Ohio State's
Freeman on
Road Back
By JOHN GRIFFIN
Uniied Press Sports Writer
Ohio State's Robin Freeman,
once again the "biggest little
man" in college basketball, took
another long stride today on the
road that leads back from bitter
disappointment to a possible na
tional scoring championship.
The five-foot, 11-inch Buck
eye, who took over this week as
the country's top scorer, added
another 34 points to his total
Thursday night as he paced Ohio
State to an impressive 94-73 vic-
tory over touring Washington.
That hit his best-in-the-nation
average of 34.5 points per game
almost on the nose and was add
. ed evidence that this year the
little senior from Cincinnati in
tends to go all the way in the
point race.
- Last year Freeman was the
No. 1 scorer in the country for
the first five weeks of the sea
son. Th(i he dropped to second
place but still wasonly one point
behind Eventual champion Dar
rell Floyd of Furman when the
KnmK!nir pffncts of exhaustion
and an injured ankle started
slowing him up. He was forced
to drop out of school in mid
year to build himself up, but his
per-game average of 31.5 points
A stood as the fourth highest in
major-college history.
Freeman Leaps High
Freeman, who leaps high to
dod the ball over the heads of
startledOgiants, tallied nine "bas
kets and 16 free throws for his
game-leading total Thursday
nieht.
.Wake Forest, scoring its fourth
win in four nights, sprang Thurs
day night's big uet by beating
Brightam Young, 86-80. It was
the second loss in two nights for
Brigham Young, the nation's No.
hv North Carolina State on
Wednesday.
Wake Forest, fresh from win
ning the Carrousel Tournament,
led all the way, piled up a 49-38
halftime lead and stood off a
Cougar second-half rally that cut
the margin to 66-63 with 2Vz
minutes left.
Manhattan turned in another
major upset by beating 11th
ranked George Washington, 71-
63, at New York's Madison
Square Garden. The Jaspers pre
vailed despite a brilliant 34-point
performance by G. W.'s Joe
Holup, who sank 13 of22 shots.

Third Gator Bowl Contest
For Five Auburn Plainsmen
This is another in a series
on teams in Bowl games.)
By RAY LACKEY
Auburn, Ala. (U.R) Foot
ball fans at Jacksonville, Fla.,
on Dec. 31 will see five familiar
figures on the gridiron when
Auburn and Vanderbilt get the
11th annual Gator Bowl under
way. They are Auburn seniors who
no doubt will set some kind of
record by starting their third
Gator Bowl game.
There are two backs and three
linemen in the group, and to
gether they have led Auburn
from football obscurity in 1952,
when the Plainsmen lost eight
and won two, to three success
ful seasons resulting in the three
Gator Bowl appearances.
Heading the list is fullback
Childress, a line-plunger who
demolished Baylor in last year's
Gator Bowl by gaining 134
yards, scoring two touchdowns
and kicking three points after
touchdowns.
James Slow But Fancy
The other veteran back is
fancy Fob James Jr., a halfback
who has the ability to stop and
start quickly which more than
makes up for a slight deficiency
of speed. James scored four
times this season on dashes of
more than 60 yards, and he
promises to be Auburn's closest
approach to Vandy's great run
ner, Cha-lie Horton.

Otto Graham Chosen Pro
Gridiron Player of Year
By EARL WRIGHT
Uniied Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) Otto
Graham, the 34-year-old quarter
back who will lead the Cleve
land Browns against the Los
Angeles Rams Monday for the
National Football League cham
pionship, today was named the
pro circuit's Player of the Year
in the annual United Press poll.
Graham ended a brief retire
ment shortly before the 1955
season began and led Cleveland
to a division title for the 10th
straight year. He won the in
dividual passing crown while di
recting the team that led the
league in scoring with 349
points.
Won Title Easily
Graham was voted the sea
son s outstanding pro piayer in
voting by 30 sports writers who
covered the games in the various
league, cities. He received 13
votes, winning the honor easily.
Graham's closest rivals in the
balloting, rookie fullback Alan
Ameche of the Baltimore Colts
and end Harlon Hill of the Chi
cago Bears, each drew four
votes.
Quarterback Norm Van
Brocklin, who will lead the
Rams against the Browns Mon
day at Los Angeles, and end
Gene Brito of the Washington
Redskins each received two
votes.
Quarterbacks Ed Brown of the
Chicago Bears and George
Shaw of Baltimore, fullback
Howie Ferguson of the Green
Bay Packers, halfback Doak
Walker of the Detroit Lions and
linebacker-fullback Chuck Dra-
zenovich of Washington each re
ceived one vote.
Didn't Plan To Play
Graham didn't plan to play
this year. After leading Cleve
land to the 1954 championship,
he announced he would be sell
ing insurance and working on
several other business ventures
while the Browns tried for their
sixth straight Eastern Division
title this year. -
But he agreed to play one
more year when Coach Paul
Brown was faced with starting
the 1955 campaign with only
one quarterback, George Ratter-
man.
Graham was a bit rusty at
SKIER'S TIME GOOD .
Spout Springs, Ore. U.R)
Mack Miller of McCall, Ida.,
measured his way over a slushy
rain-soaked 4Vi mile course here
yesterday in the remarkable
time of 70:48:6. His effort led
22 other Olympic ski hopefuls
in training at Spout Springs,
Ore. It was the first cross-coun
try time trial of the training sea
son for 23 men shooting for six
berths on the U.S. Nordic com
bined ski team.
borough will anchor the Auburn
line.
The Plainsmen used a varied
offense to win eight games this
year losing only to Tulane
and tying Kentucky. Childress
and James carried the brunt of
the ground attack for Auburn.
Two youngsters were the key
to the Auburn passing attack.
Quarterback Millard Howell
Tubbs, named for Millard
(Dixie) Howell who was famed
at Alabama as the . man who
threw the ball to Don Hutson,
was one of the most improved
passers in the Southeastern Con
ference this season.
Phillips Receiving
On the receiving end of many
of Tubbs' tosses was sophomore
end Jimmy Phillips, a big, fast
youth who may develop into one
of Auburn's great football play
ers before his college career
closes.
The Plainsmen have gotten
down to the grind of pre-bowl
practice in good spirits and in
good physical condition.
Coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan
warned his squad that in the
Commodores they must be ready
to face a hungry team that was
knocked out of the Sugar Bowl
by a last-game loss to traditional
rival Tennessee.
Auburn made its first Gator
bowl by Auburn date back into
the 30's. In 1937, the Plainsmen
tied Villanova 7-7 in the Cuban
National Sports Festival,, the
Rhumba Bowl in Havana, and
in 1938 they beat Michigan
State in the Orange Bowl.
first but soon regained his bril
liant passing form. He wound
up with one of his best seasons,
completing 98 of 185 passes for
1,721 yards and 15 touchdowns.
He won the passing title by aver
aging 9.30 yards per throw.
He has announced that Mon
day's game will be his last "even
if Paul Brown has to play quar
terback next year."

Investigation of
Price Gouging on
Farm Prices Set
Washington (U.R) The
Agriculture Department today
pressed its investigation to dis
cover if price-gouging by mid
dlemen may be partly the cause
of plummeting farm profits.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
T. Benson said he wants to know
if middlemen are reaping "im
proper" profits at the expense
of the nation's hard pressed
farmers.
Benson announced yesterday
the farmer's share of the con
sumer food dollar declined to 39
cents in November, the lowest
point in 15 years.
However, he said while farm
prices had declined 10 per cent
compared to one year ago, retail
food prices were down only 2
per cent.
He said his department is
making detailed studies of mar
keting charges of various farm
products to learn if the charges
are unfairly inflated. Earlier this
month he said "we know" some
middlemen's charges are out of
line.
Benson said the farmer is
squeezed between rising farm
costs and falling farm prices. He
called the' squeeze "a real ob
stacle to a solution of the farm
surplus problem."
He said in an interim report
on his investigatin that beef and
pork are outstanding examples
of the farm price spread. He said
prices paid farmers for pigs and
beef cattle have declined about
10 cents a pound during the last
year, but retail beef prices have
declined only four cents and re
tail pork prices 6.1 cents.
Demands have been made both
in and outside of congress for
an investigation of the price
spread. Rep. Sid Simpson (R
111.), a member of the House Agi
culture Committee, has propos
ed the calling of a bi-partisan
farm conference to study the
problem.
Laughs of
Washington (U.R) Patrolman
Daniel J. Andrews caught two

Andrews hailed a passing taxi

holding the two men inside until
the paddy wagon arrived.
Cleveland, O. (U.R) Patrol

"One of them is glass," the
